Depression takes a person beyond feelings of sadness, to a very dark and lonely place. Poetry about depression offers the reader a glimpse into this darkness and isolation. Depression is a serious mental disorder. A creative outlet, like writing poetry, can offer relief to some sufferers.

recede
depression makes me alter
I shift inside, dying
Becoming quieter, I withdraw
until I can no longer hear my internal voice
It is with regret that I go
sinking into a black hole
silenced and alone
My thoughts listen
As the others take over
with curiosity, I listen to their conversations
The others walk for me when I don't want to
With observations, they make me laugh
Their interest in my world is unclear
they view it with otherworldly intensity
My soul is locked inside me deeply
thoughts of...

A Broken Heart
How can you mend a broken heart, filled with so much, hurt and anger and anxiety and pain, by not playing mind games that has, been broken so many times. THAT the heart is filled with pain that never really heals. 💔 For sure it's necessary to understand, that it's a lot of people's who have been abused, mentally and emotionally and physically and spiritually, till they become a broken heart 💔 filled with so much pain and hurt and anger, like a person living on the edge of existence. 🤔 For sure it's happening more often than we know, yet it's not something to ignore,...

Doldrums
I’m captain of a tuneless vessel
adrift on a windless sea;
nothing to break the tedium –
an extended state of ennui.
I’ve tossed dream-horses overboard,
making space for something new;
still no sign of a catalyst
to brighten my field of view.
Alas! Alack! I just want to nap,
though storms veil every horizon.
Until the tempest is right in my lap,
I see no point in arisin’.
.

Summer
I've strolled the boardwalk in hopes of taming the beast countless times.
When the phone betrayed me, the ocean was a friend like no other.
Crushing my hate on the grains of sand on a balmy August night without second thought.
Self doubt, disbelief, and time unlimited will torture in ways unimaginable.
Fear is heavy to the man who runs out of patience.
When the phone betrayed me, the ocean was a friend like no other.
Crushing my hate on the grains of sand on a balmy August night without second thought.
Self doubt, disbelief, and time unlimited will torture in ways unimaginable.
Fear is heavy to the man who runs out of patience.

The Devils Sonnet
The moon, it whispers
such violent things,
the devils sonnet,
beelzebub sings.
Through my window,
upon my bed,
it’s beams they taunt me,
this concert of dread.
The sweetest melody
of chaos and fear.
For when the moon
whispers, the demons
draw near.

The End
I suppose now
We're coming
To the end;
I've heard so many voices,
So many rhymes,
So much of the wonderment
Of humanity
Among the 'great'
Like Neruda and Poe
And Lewis and Bourdain...
And all the same,
The likes of Fia and Oral
And Her and LDF and...anyway...
I guess the moral
Is simple:
I missed so many of you
Here and there
In this quiet little corner of
Trying to figure it all out.
I really do wish
I could have read
Everything.
Every single one of you,...

This is Not a Song of Ascent
There is no defying Gravity –
no leaping or jumping or flying.
She’s doubled down
and lifting my hands (my hands)
is too hard, too heavy,
not worth the effort.
She hadn’t noticed that she’d slipped,
let just a corner of my world
feel a breath lighter than before.
She only noticed when I filled
my lungs to full capacity
and sang, a full-throated
belly-voice that echoed
through my ribcage.
And now she’s doubled down, Gravity.
I got a little too close to heaven
in my own mortal body ...
no leaping or jumping or flying.
She’s doubled down
and lifting my hands (my hands)
is too hard, too heavy,
not worth the effort.
She hadn’t noticed that she’d slipped,
let just a corner of my world
feel a breath lighter than before.
She only noticed when I filled

and sang, a full-throated
belly-voice that echoed
through my ribcage.
And now she’s doubled down, Gravity.

Don't take your life away
Don't take your life away look for me,
If you want me to stay by your side I'll be,
That knife in your hand can you put it down,
Why do you think it'd be better of you weren't around?
Don't take your life away,
Is my love enough to make you stay?
We are dying while we're living,
Time is flying moments are missing,
Those pills you took can you spit them out,
Take another look you're covered in doubt,
Don't take your life away,
Atleast not right away,
How many times have you thought,
If you were dead...
If you want me to stay by your side I'll be,
That knife in your hand can you put it down,
Why do you think it'd be better of you weren't around?
Don't take your life away,
Is my love enough to make you stay?
We are dying while we're living,
Time is flying moments are missing,
Those pills you took can you spit them out,
Take another look you're covered in doubt,
Don't take your life away,
Atleast not right away,
How many times have you thought,
If you were dead...

Do you have compassion
I will always follow you to the end of time, for I will follow you in my need to sustain my life, for I will follow you as you have inspire me to think for thyself 🤔 in all my life situations, that seems to have me feeling like I'm drowning, in the sea of death and fear. 😨 For sure I will always follow you, as my thoughts become dangerous, to my own well being. 😞 For sure I will follow you as my life, becomes filled with nothing but confusion, and negative vibes, driving 😕 me on a two way street, yet going the wrong way. 😕 AS if I got a death wish that...

Lost In Space
Besieged the stars upon the sky
Painted dark as comets cry
I wish I may, try as I might
I cannot wish on stars tonight
Extinguishing novae
Apocalypse decays
Constellations erased
As I'm lost in space
Painted dark as comets cry
I wish I may, try as I might
I cannot wish on stars tonight
Extinguishing novae
Apocalypse decays
Constellations erased
As I'm lost in space

A Word From Death
So,” Death says.
“Yes, please, now. I have the courage now.”
The tremor in my voice betrays me.
I hold out my hand. Pleading.
The blackness under Death’s hood watches me.
They say nothing.
It means everything.
“Just let them find out gently. Please let them heal well, and we - I - will just… go. Now. Get ahead of the rush.”
My arm aches from begging for their hand.
“Please. I will go back to being a coward soon. But right now. Right now you can take me. Willingly.”
My throat has...
“Yes, please, now. I have the courage now.”
The tremor in my voice betrays me.
I hold out my hand. Pleading.
The blackness under Death’s hood watches me.
They say nothing.
It means everything.
“Just let them find out gently. Please let them heal well, and we - I - will just… go. Now. Get ahead of the rush.”
My arm aches from begging for their hand.
“Please. I will go back to being a coward soon. But right now. Right now you can take me. Willingly.”
